Rosner’s Torah Talk: Parsha Vayetze with Tzvia Rubens

[additional-authors]
November 26, 2020

Tzvia Rubens, of Hebrew Union in Ohio, is our guest this week, and we discuss Parshat Vayetze which begins when Jacob leaves Canaan and journeys to Charan.

On the way, he goes to sleep and dreams of a ladder connecting heaven and earth, with angels climbing and descending on it. In Haran, Jacob works for his uncle Laban, tending to his sheep. Laban agrees to give him his younger daughter, Rachel in marriage, but on the wedding night gives him his elder daughter, Leah instead.
